Wow!
I have learnt so much spending time with someone who has uncontrolled diabetes
yet lives such a busy life! It's hard work being a community nurse as I've
found out - although the patients loved me! (Even though I learnt how to take a
selfie with my last host, Rosie explained that I wasn't allowed to take selfies
with patients!) Having such high levels can cause tiredness and lethargy
apparently which makes being busy every day so difficult. No wonder she goes to
bed early!
She's
got me working hard!
Even
answering the phone!
The
only snacks she has on her are sugar free flavoured water and sugar free polos
- not very exciting boo! :( Apparently this is because her blood sugars can
rise very quickly and unlike Type 1s, she doesn't have insulin to control this.
I'd much rather sit and eat sweets at lunchtime but the other nurses have told
me off!
The
doctor rang today to tell her her hba1c result which is 95! She's told me its
lower than it was but it's still very high and blames it on me! I'm starting to
rethink playing all these tricks on people. I can see the effect high blood
sugar AND low blood sugar has on people. Maybe I'm starting to feel
guilty...
Must
dash, got a busy afternoon!
